No matter what the price,
nothing is cheap if you have
no use for it. Our ladies'
dresses and overgarments
are many OF them selling
for little more than the MAJ
terial is worth. You'll be-
foolish if you take one of
them simply because the|
price is so low. But if,
you're likely to want such
goods within a year you'll
miss a chance if you don't at
least look at them.

The gratifying increase as shown in the
valuations of the past year prove the solid
ity of the boom that has existed here for
some years past and promises a very mate
rial decrease i'll the rate of taxation for the
present year.
An impression prevails among those who
are not well versed in such matters that the
increase in the amount of the tax digest in
creases the commissions of the Receiver of
Tax Returns The fact is that the county
pays commissions only on the amount called
for in the county's budget of expenses for
the year, and as the expenses this year are
less than those of last year, the receiver
actually gets less for his labors on the larger
amount than he did on the smaller 1t
is owing to the increased care and vigilance
of that officer that the burdens of taxation
are being reduced on the individual by his
efforts in getting on his books property
heretofore untaXed, and by increasing the
valuation on property which previously re-
turned only a portion of its real value. The
increase in the digest will decrease the rate
Of taxation from 90c to about S2c.
